[Dear Editor,]
I am seeking information on Lewis Dowell born 1801 in Virginia. He later moved to Hawkins County and Gibson County, Tennessee. He married Nancy , who was born in 1806 in Tennessee. Who were Lewis parents and where in Virginia was he born? Were there other children? When did the Dowell family come to the United States? I'd appreciate any information.
